Long Term Evolution is hugely significant as the next major piece of the technology jigsaw, and both operators and vendors need people with a thorough knowledge of the commercial and technical issues surrounding its development and deployment in order to maximise its potential for their organisation. The modular nature of this programme makes it suitable for a variety of job roles.

The mandatory modules cover key topics such as the LTE Core Network, LTE Air Interface and Services and Applications for LTE.

Module options include a variety of topics including LTE Radio Planning, Marketing LTE Services, and Alternative non-3GPP Access Technologies.
